Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in hardcore and modern metal history, apocalyptic heavy music icons INTEGRITY return with their highly anticipated, 12th studio album entitled Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume. The band has never shied away from controversial themes or explicit imagery throughout their music videos, and if their latest clip is anything to go by, not even outcry over NSFW Policy will be enough to stop them from doing what they do best. A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon, Howling… is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction. Now with almost 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date. Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume was recorded and mixed at Developing Nations Studio in Baltimore with mastering handled by Brad Boatright (Obituary, Toxic Holocaust, Full Of Hell).

About Integrity:

Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in hardcore and modern metal history, apocalyptic heavy music icons INTEGRITYformed in Cleveland in 1988 primarily as an outlet for the philosophical and spiritual musings of vocalist Dwid Hellion. With an intense sound that melds together high-velocity hardcore punk, heavy metal, thrash and angular, noisy guitar riffs with lyrical themes that include religion, the supernatural, mental illness, individualism, the occult, and Holy Terrorism, INTEGRITY areunquestionably one of the pioneering forces that forged the worlds of hardcore and metal together. Their influence on hundreds, if not thousands of bands can still be heard to this day.

The group issued its debut album, Those Who Fear Tomorrow, in 1991 followed by a steady series of splits, singles and compilations. They returned with their sophomore full-length Systems Overload in 1995 followed by 1996’s Humanity Is the Devil and 1997’s Seasons in the Size of Days, the latter two being loose concept albums focusing on Dwid’s religious obsessions which ultimately helped broaden INTEGRITY’S appeal beyond the hardcore faithful into the punk and metal stratosphere.

In 1997, Dwid started his own Holy Terror label to release a collection ofINTEGRITY rarities entitled Taste of Every Sin. The next decade plus sawINTEGRITY continue their relentless output of acclaimed full-lengths with a variety of the scene’s most respected labels including Deathwish, A389 Recordings, and Magic Bullet. 2003’s To Die For was particularly heralded as one of the band’s most vicious and powerful albums to date.

Fast forward to 2016 when INTEGRITY sign to renowned independent label Relapse Records to usher in a new era of the band. After headlining numerous hardcore and metal festivals across the globe, the band recorded their 12th full-length album Howling, For The Nightmare Shall Consume, due out July 2017 via Relapse. A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon,Howling… is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction. The album, heavily inspired by the Satanic-Panic era of 1980’s heavy metal and it’s effect on culture as a whole, is an extremely moody, diverse and aggressive offering with influences ranging from Motorhead, Slayer and GISM to Shout at the Devil-era Motley Crue and Randy Rhoades-era Ozzy Osbourne.

Now with almost 30 years of creating dark and terrifying anthems under their belt, INTEGRITY have honored their past musical legacy while fearlessly moving forward into unchartered territory on what is undoubtedly their most elaborate and ambitious effort to date.
